UMBRELLA-TIP.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 1a, 1908.

Application filed March 19, 1907- Serial No. 363.228.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, GEORGE KABURECK, a citizen'of theUnited States ofAmerica, and residing at Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and Stateof New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inUmbrellaTips, of which the following is a specification, such as willenable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same.

This invention relates to umbrellas, walking sticks, crutches and'thelike, andthe object thereof is to provide a device of this characterwhereby a resisting seat-is provided, which prevents the article uponwhich it is placed from passing through the soft resilient material ofwhich it is com-l posed, said resisting seat being so formed as toinsure its permanent position in the tip,

and also to insure it against being forced through the said tip, and astill furtherobject being to provide a tip of this class which is simplein construction and very economical.

My invention is fully described in the following specification, of whichthe accompanying drawings form a part,'in which the separate parts ineach of the views are des- .ignated by the same reference characters, 30

and in which:'-'Figure 1 is a sectional view of an umbrella tipconstructed according to my invention. Fig. 2-is a bottom plan viewthereof, and- Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken on the line 33 ofFig. 1.

In the drawings forming part of this application, l have shown a portionof an umbrella rod a, which is provided with a ferrule a and the rod aand ferrule a, therefor are adapted to beforced into a tip b composed ofrubber or other resilient material, said tip being provided with acentral opening 6 for that purpose, and, in practice, I prefer tocorrugate, score, or otherwise roughen the bottom of the tip I) as shownat b Arranged at the bottom of the bore b is a plate 0, which ispreferably slightly conicalin form, and the upper and lower surfaces ofwhich are concaved', the upper surface being concaved forthe urpose oforming a positive seat for the errule a, and .the bottom 5t surfacebeing concaved in order to forceandcompress the resilient materialtoward the center of the plate a when pressure is brought to bear uponit, thereby preventing'the said plate 0 from being forced through the;ma- Z terial of which the tip bis composed.

The plate 0 is preferably made of a slightly iv greater diameter thanthe boreb and, be-

ing inclined downwardly on its edgesen'gages the material of which thetip is composed and is thereby prevented from accidental or otherremoval from the tip, and the bore 11 is preferably made of lesserdiameter than the rod a. It will be understood that my invention ay beapplied to a number of articles and arious changesin and modificationsof the orm of construction shown and described ay be-made,without'departing from the antages, and, with this reservation, What Iclaim as new, and desire to secure v Letters Patent ,'is:-- 1 Z 1. Adevice of the class describerLcomprising a tip of resilient materialprovided with a central bore adapted to'receive the end of an umbrellaor walking stick, anda plate at the bottom of said bore, said platebeing provided with upper and lower con caved surfaces. i 2. A device ofthe class described, comwith a central bore adaptedto receive the end ofan umbrella or walking stick'and a plate in w the bottom of said bore,said'plate having an inclined or tapered edge and being. provided. withupper and lower concaved surfaces.

In testimon that I'claim the foregoing as my invention ,have signed myname in presence ofthe subscribing witnesses this-15th.dayofMar'ch,19(l7.
